tearjerkers.

Of course, as a guy, I can't really freely admit that I cry when I see or hear about touching stories.

But let's be honest. There are certain things that at least make my eyes water (for a very very short moment, of course).

Of all the stories that make me tear up, there is a recurring theme that runs through many of them - sacrifice and humility.

The story of a man who gave up his titles in order to take the blame unfairly for what someone else had done, the story of a man who shunned his authority and took it within himself to serve others, the story of a boy who gave up his Christmas gifts in order to help less privileged children, and the story of a perfect man who was perfectly humble and lived a life of suffering and torture before dying for the undeserving.

In many ways, the stories that touch me are the stories that relate to Christ's attributes - and that is the man I should strive to be. Selfless, courageous, but most of all, with a heart of servitude.
